Dade City This is a goodly way into our last project that we wanted to talk to you about. Uh a stormwater project, Sea Pines. Uh don't we have a uh our public works director come up and and talk about that and then we'll Do a little follow up with you all.
Alana Todd Oh, one before that. Great, thank you. Um so one last thing I wanted to highlight was um a recent uh sort of effort we we did um as part of our our stormwater committee. Um we did stormwater stewardship month. So I worked with uh staff from all around the region uh to Highlight the impacts and of stormwater runoff and pollution. Most residents don't know that stormwater isn't treated before it ends up in our waterways. And so we put together this month-long campaign of educational resources to be shared by our local governments and other partners to educate residents on what stormwater is, why it's important. Common sources of pollutants and then what they can do about it. And so each week we had a themed week, whether it was, you know, just highlighting what stormwater is or what those common sources of pollutants are. And then we posted these graphics on our website. We also made a proclamation
Several speakers Jason Mickle: We have a small percentage that we could plan for of that, about four to five million dollars a year has been the average week. In in capital for stormwater projects.
Kathryn Starkey So we're trying to do and I gave you an example right here on Little Road of a stormwater pond. There's a couple stormwater ponds, maybe three, that are surrounded by ligh books that we're planting. You we most of these developments with the stormwater ponds, they don't put any trees on the edges when they could. It's a great place to put shade trees.
Alana Todd template for any of our local governments interested in proclaiming May as. Stormwater Stewardship Month. I think the Pinellas County did. I'm pretty sure the City of Seminole did as well, and a few of other local governments. We also made a video that we have posted on the website, and there's a stormwater stewardship pledge available as well. So that is just kind of one example of getting all of our staff from our local governments together to work on messaging and what resources we really need to be creating to help in promoting stormwater stewardship and and education. So that is all I have for you today.
